# own-text-channel

Simple HTTP server that makes creating your own and secure telegram-like text channel as easy as possible. You can use bittorrent magnet links to embed images, videos and other files easily which will solve the problem of not sufficient bandwidth automatically.

# How to host

## Dependencies

This project is written in Python which means you have to have python3 installed on your system.
Other than this, project doesn't have any other dependency.

## Installation

This part is pretty easy and straightforward; you just need to download this repository and run server.py
```
git clone https://notabug.org/dymik739/own-text-channel.git
cd own-text-channel
python3 server.py
```

That's all you need to do! Now the server will be accessible on all network interfaces on port 8080.
Of course, you can use it inside of a `screen` to make it more stable if it is hosted on a remote machine.

## Further support

To stop the server you can just press Ctrl+C and to start it again use `python3 server.py` or just `./server.py` (whichever one you like more)

## Something is broken!

If you encounter bugs, it doesn't start or run on your system or you stumble across other weird stuff - feel free to open an issue on this project's page! It would greately help to improve the project and you will get a working instance.
(keep in mind - Windows is not supported)
